Learning from the local: the variety and spatial pattern of vocal mimicry in songs of the invasive white-rumped shama in Taiwan [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceStudying the model selection, especially in multiple heterospecific mimicry, is crucial for understanding the function of vocal mimicry. Invasive songbirds with large repertoires in novel auditory environments lacking conspecifics expand their ...

Molecular mimicry as a mechanism of viral immune evasion and autoimmunity [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMimicry of host protein structures, or ‘molecular mimicry’, is a common mechanism employed by viruses to evade the host’s immune system. Short linear amino acid (AA) molecular mimics can elicit cross-reactive antibodies and T cells from the host, but the

PLoS ONE, 2022 Microbial mimicry of the host proteins/peptides can elicit host auto-reactive T- or B-cells resulting in autoimmune disease(s). Since intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDPRs) are involved in several host cell signaling and PPI networks, molecular

Assessing Müllerian mimicry in North American bumble bees using human perception
Scientific Reports, 2022 Despite the broad recognition of mimicry among bumble bees, distinct North American mimicry rings have yet to be defined, due in part to the prevalence of intermediate and imperfect mimics in this region.

Rapid mimicry and emotional contagion in domestic dogs [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Emotional contagion is a basic form of empathy that makes individuals able to experience others’ emotions. In human and non-human primates, emotional contagion can be linked to facial mimicry, an automatic and fast response (less than 1 s) in which ...
